Type material. CHINA, Tibet Autonomous Region: Holotype male from Nyingchi City , Medog County, 29.32°N, 95.33°E, 1101 m, 15 July 2017, F. Liu, J. Chen, J. Liu, M. Fang & Z. Zhang leg. ( CBEE, LJ05224 ) GoogleMaps . Paratype: 1 male, with same data as for holotype ( CBEE, LJ05229 ) GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin adjective conicus, -a, - um, meaning “conical”, referring to the shape of RTA; adjective.
Diagnosis. The male of P. conica Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. medogensis Zhao & Li, 2018 ( Jiang et al. 2018) by having the E broadened at its median part with apical part narrow, the simple RTA pointed, but can be distinguished by wide EP (narrow and small in P. medogensis ).
MALE (LJ05224): Measurements: Medium sized. Body length 12.4–12.6, DS length 6.1, width 5.5, OS length 6.5, width 3.3. Eyes: AME 0.25, ALE 0.39, PME 0.32, PLE 0.37,AME–AME 0.24,AME–ALE 0.17, PME– PME 0.33, PME–PLE 0.39, AME–PME 0.47, ALE–PLE 0.45, CH AME 0.56, CH ALE 0.48. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2101; Fe I–III 323, IV 322; Pa I–IV 101; Ti I 2126, II 3238, III–IV 2126; Mt I–II 1014, III 2025, IV 3036. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 8.2 (2.5, 0.9, 1.5, –, 3.3); I 29.1 (8.4, 2.9, 8.1, 7.7, 2.0); II 32.4 (9.0, 3.1, 9.3, 8.6, 2.4); III 24.2 (7.6, 2.1, 6.9, 5.9, 1.7); IV 28.4 (8.6, 1.5, 7.8, 8.2, 2.3). Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 26 denticles.
Palp ( Figs 68A–C View FIGURE 68 ): As in diagnosis. C arising from
T at 12:00 o’clock position, basally wrinkled. E arising from T at 10:00 o’clock position with its basal part folded. Spermophor distinct, opening dorsally. RTA stick shaped, arising proximally to medially from Ti.
Colouration ( Figs 69A–B View FIGURE 69 ): DS yellowish brown with dark lateral bands, in front of fovea with distinct patch. OS dorsally reddish-brown with several brown dots, in posterior half with light area, ventrally yellowishbrown with reddish brown marks, irregularly arranged.
